Dwarf Umbrella Tree (Heptapleurum arboricolum)

Common Names in South Africa: Dwarf Umbrella Tree, Dwarf Schefflera, Parasol Plant
Overview: Native to Taiwan and Hainan, the Dwarf Umbrella Tree is a lush, evergreen houseplant with glossy, palmate leaves arranged like tiny umbrellas. Ideal for bright indoor spaces in South African homes, it thrives in indirect light, adding a tropical, air-purifying elegance.
Quirky Fact: Its leaves fan out like mini parasols, ready to shade your plant party from imaginary rain!
Care for Damaged Leaves: Trim damaged or yellow leaves with clean shears to promote new growth. With moderate watering, high humidity, and well-draining soil, recovery typically takes 2–4 weeks.
Safety Note: Toxic to pets and humans if ingested, causing irritation. Sap may irritate skin, so keep away from children and pets.
Availability: Available in 12–15cm pots at nurseries like Plantify.co.za or Horti.co.za, with couriered delivery options.

What would you like to see:

To ensure fresh and healthy plants we follow a strict weekly shipping schedule: 

Mondays: We prepare plants for shipping! This means wrapping the soil, adding plant sleeves, and one last pre-travel watering. 
Tuesdays: We wake up bright and early to get all plants carefully packaged for shipping in the morning, in the afternoon we hand over plants with the longest travel ahead of them to our courier partners (this means Eastern, Western and Northern Cape)
Wednesdays: If there are any plants that did not fit in the Tuesday truck, they travel in the second batch on a Wednesday. 
Thursdays and Fridays: No plants are shipped, we carefully monitor all the travelling plant babies to ensure they arrive safely at their new homes ! 

Why do we do this? 

Our shipping schedule works this way to ensure that your plants are less likely to spend a weekend in the courier depot ! Our shipping schedule is designed this way to ensure that your plants are fresh and healthy, for this same reason we do not like keeping stock for extended periods of time which means that stock received on Thursdays and Fridays will only be shipped the following week.
